Notaulax feather dusters?

[Jenn]

Group Order?!?

I have been wanting to do an order from Aquacon for a while now. They have corals that I have not seen anywhere before, but are a little pricey.

I agree on their prices Jenn, but I don't know, I have jave a problem ordering from a place that lables feather dusters as 'great starter corals' and reccomends things to beginners that are probably doomed... I am just... wary of them.. plus, I am tapped out at the moment!

Yea, I have seen the same statements - that's why I have not gone through with an order yet. I was hoping somone who has ordered from them before would ring in here - if there are any.

Well, in one of those extra-ordinarly almost sort of coincidences, I found a very similar feather duster in my tank last night. I finally finished picking out all the live rock rubble and old shells and what not I wanted to transfer to the 110 and started scooping out the live sand to move into a trashcan witha power head to keep it nice and active while I wait for the 115. I ran across the shell of 'bruiser' my very first electric blue hermit that died about a year ago. I remember asking richard if the little feather duster on his shell might be a aptasia. I was very much the newb and I couldn't see the tube of the worm, just the crown and anyhow... I found the shell last night, the little tube I couldn't see before was about an inch and a half to 2 inches long now. when I got it in the 110 and it opened up, it looked almost exactly like the first picture, witht he exception there is only one crown, not two. It is rimmed on the outside with yellow, and very dark burgundy on the inside, the crown is about an inch across. I believe the shell probably came from the marshall islands since that is where the crab originated from, but there is I guess, really no telling if he switched shells in a holding tank somewhere. I will try and post a picture tomorrow, I had to charge the camera's battery today, and it wasn't done until I left for work. very nice.!
